salesforce - Add wordpress custom post type data to an external db -

this function adds custom post 'event' data salesforce db. i've tested function outside of wordpress , works flawlessly. when test inside wordpress adding new event, no error generated , data not inserted sf db. i've tested printing out $_post , saw data being collected. how can display errors can trouble shoot this?

function add_campaign_to_sf( $post_id) {     global $sf_username;     global $sf_password;      if ('event' == $_post['post-type']) {         try {               $mysforceconnection = new sforceenterpriseclient();               $mysoapclient = $mysforceconnection->createconnection(cd_plugin_path . 'toolkit/soapclient/enterprise.wsdl.xml');               $mysflogin = $mysforceconnection->login($sf_username, $sf_password);                $sobject = new stdclass();               $sobject->name = get_the_title( $post_id );               $sobject->startdate = date("y-m-d", strtotime($_post["events_startdate"]));               $sobject->enddate = date("y-m-d", strtotime($_post["events_enddate"]));               $sobject->isactive = '1';                $createresponse = $mysforceconnection->create(array($sobject), 'campaign');                $ids = array();                     foreach ($createresponse $createresult) {                         error_log($createresult);                         array_push($ids, $createresult->id);                     }                  } catch (exception $e) {                         error_log($mysforceconnection->getlastrequest());                         error_log($e->faultstring);                         die;                     }     }  }   add_action( 'save_post', 'add_campaign_to_sf'); 

i use get_post_type() check "event" posts. use error_log() write php error log additional debugging - check status of salesforce login, etc.

keep in mind save_post run every time post saved - created or updated - might want additional checking (like setting meta value) before creating new campaign in salesforce, otherwise end duplicates.

function add_campaign_to_sf( $post_id ) {     $debug = true;     if ($debug) error_log("running save_post function add_campaign_to_sf( $post_id )");     if ( 'event' == get_post_type( $post_id ) ){         if ($debug) error_log("the post type 'event'");         if ( false === get_post_meta( $post_id, 'sfdc_id', true ) ){             if ($debug) error_log("there no meta value  'sfdc_id'");             // add salesforce, id of new campaign object             if ($debug) error_log("the new object id $sfdc_id");             update_post_meta( $post_id, 'sfdc_id', $sfdc_id );         }     } } add_action( 'save_post', 'add_campaign_to_sf' );
